Lets nym-api tests drive the real coconut-dkg contract (plus the real
cw3-flex-multisig and cw4-group) under cw_multi_test, instead of the
hand-rolled mock chain in src/ecash/tests.
The contracts workspace declares its nym-* dependencies against crates.io
and redirects them to local paths through its own [patch.crates-io]. That
patch does not apply when a contract is consumed as a path dependency from
this workspace, so cargo otherwise resolves a second, published copy of each
shared crate and the two sets of types stop unifying ("expected EpochState,
found a different EpochState"). Mirroring the five relevant entries here
resolves it; the lockfile change is additions-only, so no existing package
resolution moves.
tests/dkg_contract_bridge.rs runs a full initial ceremony and a resharing
against the real contract as a regression guard on the wiring.
Recipient-side validation of dealings and verification key shares can only be tested against on-chain data that no honest dealer would ever submit, so these write through StoredDealing and vk_shares directly, bypassing the contract's own handlers. They live on DkgContractTesterExt because that is where the storage layout is already known - callers get truncate_dealing_chunk (dealing no longer decodes), corrupt_dealing_payload (alters a byte without changing length, so it decodes but fails verification, a distinct rejection path) and the vk-share accessors.
All 13 expensive multi-validator DKG tests now drive nym-api's own DkgController against real contract code under cw_multi_test, instead of a hand-rolled chain that re-implemented contract behaviour by hand. Phases advance by passing the contract's real deadlines and executing AdvanceEpochState, the threshold is the contract's own computation rather than the test's duplicate of the formula, and share verification flows through actual cw3 propose/vote/execute. Cost is negligible: the ignored DKG suite runs in ~235s versus ~177s for the single fake reshare test it replaces, because the wall-clock is DKG cryptography, not chain emulation. ContractTester is not Send - cw_multi_test::App holds Rc-backed storage and trait objects declared without Send bounds - while DkgClient requires Client + Send + Sync. Rather than assert Send unsafely, the tester is built on a dedicated thread and never leaves it; callers submit closures over a channel, so the compiler enforces that only owned data crosses the boundary. Panics inside a job are caught and re-raised at the call site with their payload intact, so a failed contract assertion still reads normally. This surfaced a real divergence between the mock and cw3. With two group members, a bad share's proposal stays Open rather than reaching Rejected: cw3 rejects only once no > votes_needed(total_weight - abstain, 1 - percentage), i.e. no > 1 here, but a dealer always votes yes on its own share so no never exceeds 1. It still cannot pass, so the share stays unverified and the proposal lingers until expiry. The test now asserts the contract's real behaviour, and additionally that the share is never marked verified on chain. With no DKG test left on the fake chain, its ceremony drivers and the builder and state mutators that served only them are removed. What remains of SharedFakeChain backs the ecash credential tests and the fast builder-based tests in dealing.rs / public_key.rs, which stay on it deliberately: they fabricate mid-ceremony state using dealer fixtures that were never group members and the real contract would reject.
The channel held a concrete nyxd::Client, which made its caches unreachable from tests even though the whole struct only ever used the client through the ecash::client::Client trait (hence the UFCS calls). Take any implementation of that trait instead, mirroring DkgClient::new. The production call site is unchanged. This is what lets the epoch_clients and threshold_values caches - the ones that poison themselves across an epoch transition - be driven by a test client. The accompanying test stands the channel up over the contract-backed chain and checks signer discovery after a concluded ceremony: every dealer is discoverable and the threshold is the contract's own ceil(2n/3).
Converting an epoch's verification key shares into API clients collected into a Result, so the first share that failed to convert took the whole epoch down with it: every gateway and client lost signer discovery, even when the remaining shares comfortably met the threshold. An unverified share is the obvious trigger - a signer that drops out during the 60 second finalization window never executes its own proposal - but not the worst one. The contract stores announce_address verbatim and never validates it, and verify_share does not look at it either (it checks base58 decoding, the receiver index, the derived partial key and the pairing). A share can therefore be marked verified on chain and still fail to convert here, poisoning the epoch for everyone until that particular dealer notices and calls UpdateAnnounceAddress. Skip unusable shares instead, logging the owner and the reason so a dropped signer stays visible rather than vanishing silently. This is safe because callers already apply the threshold themselves: the one place that aggregates a master key checks api_clients.len() >= threshold first and returns NotEnoughNymAPIs otherwise, so too few usable signers still fails loudly. The logic was duplicated between validator-client and nym-api, so it moves to a shared usable_ecash_api_clients helper that both call - including the contract-backed test double, which would otherwise be testing its own copy of the behaviour under test. Covered by a unit test in validator-client and, in nym-api, a full ceremony where one controller skips finalization: the epoch concludes with one share unverified and the survivors still reconstruct the same master key.
The signer set and this api's own membership in it were cached per epoch with no expiry and no invalidation. Gateways poll continuously, so during a ceremony something inevitably asked about the new epoch while its shares were still being submitted - and the empty answer it got was then pinned for the lifetime of the process. After the ceremony concluded the api kept reporting no signers and kept refusing to sign, until somebody restarted it. Cache only once the epoch has concluded, which is when its signer set actually becomes immutable. `CachedImmutableItems` is right about its own contract; the mistake was populating it before the value was immutable. The guard lives at the call sites via a new `APICommunicationChannel::epoch_concluded`, so the generic cache stays free of DKG semantics. This is checked in two places rather than one because `active_signer` is a separate cache: fixing signer discovery alone would have left `ensure_signer` answering from its own poisoned entry. `threshold_values` needs no guard and gets none. The contract writes no threshold until dealing exchange begins, an absent threshold surfaces as an error, and errors are never cached - so it self-heals. A test pins that, since a future change returning a placeholder instead of an error would quietly reintroduce the bug there. The master verification key, coin index and expiration date signatures were downstream victims rather than separate bugs: each is guarded by a threshold check and retries because errors are not cached, but they could never recover while the layer beneath them served a cached empty set. Those guards are load bearing - the signature aggregates are persisted, so a partial signer set slipping through would write a wrong result that survives restarts - and they are deliberately left alone. Tests cover all three layers, and run against the real contract without any DKG cryptography, since the ceremony is a precondition here rather than the subject.
…r on its own Marking derived keys usable was the last thing `verification_key_finalization` did, and the phase it runs in lasts 60 seconds. An api that missed that window - a transaction that failed, a tick that landed late - was left holding perfectly good keys, verified on chain, that it would never use. Nothing revisited the decision while the process kept running. The startup path already had a standing rule for this (`can_validate_coconut_keys`: keys issued for the current epoch, epoch in progress or finalizing), which is exactly why restarting an api repaired it and the api itself never did. Give the running process the same rule instead of a single moment to apply it: `ensure_derived_keys_are_usable` runs at the top of `handle_in_progress`, so runtime and startup now agree by construction. No new chain query is needed - being in `handle_in_progress` already establishes everything startup checks. The test reproduces the unambiguous form of the scenario: three dealers finalize inside the window and the fourth does not, but another dealer executes its passed proposal, so its share is verified on chain and it simply never saw that happen. Asserting that shape rather than the unverified-share one keeps the test independent of whether runtime later becomes stricter than startup. The cw3 only checks that the executor is authorised, not that it proposed the thing, so `execute_multisig_proposal` can stand in for the other dealer. Driving the controller needs `tokio`'s `test-util`, since a poll of an in-progress epoch sleeps for two minutes. Key storage will later need to retain the previous epoch's keys for a period after a transition. `ensure_derived_keys_are_usable` is epoch-parameterised already, so only its body changes then: the comparison against the only keys we hold becomes a lookup keyed by epoch.
…remony The threshold is `ceil(2 * registered_dealers / 3)`, so a ceremony nobody registered for got a threshold of zero. Every phase after public key submission then completed trivially - no dealings to wait for, no shares to verify - and the guard meant to catch a sub-threshold conclusion compares `verified_keys < threshold`, which is vacuous at zero. The epoch ran itself to the end and settled in progress with no signers at all. Worse than the reset loop it was supposed to be: the same vacuous comparison gates every later advance, including the in-progress extension, so the epoch never reset either. It sat there claiming a completed DKG that could issue nothing, and only admin intervention could get out of it. Downstream the zero threshold makes the nym-api guards vacuous too, though nothing bogus is produced - aggregation refuses an empty set and those errors are never cached, so every ecash operation simply fails. Hold in public key submission until at least one dealer has registered, which is the only way the threshold can be zero. The wait re-saves the epoch in the same state with a fresh deadline rather than refusing to advance: the transaction still succeeds, so `can_advance_epoch_state` needs no matching rule and no api burns a failing transaction every poll; no epoch id is spent waiting; and whoever comes back first still gets a full submission window for the others to join, instead of being able to advance alone the moment it registers. One dealer is deliberately enough. A one-of-one threshold is a legitimate configuration for a testnet, so the bar is having nobody, not having too few. Two fixtures had to be corrected rather than worked around. `add_current_dealer` wrote to the dealer maps without incrementing the epoch's registered dealer count, which the real registration handler does, so its dealers were invisible to any decision made from epoch progress. And `invalid_commit_dealing_chunk` advanced out of public key submission before registering, which is not an order that can happen on chain. `full_dkg_correctly_updates_historical_epoch` walks the state machine to generate transitions at known heights; it now walks a viable ceremony, since its subject is the historical epoch index rather than what the ceremony is allowed to do. The end-to-end test lives in nym-api because only a real `RegisterDealer` transaction can show that registration is still open once the original deadline has passed - the contract level tests set the dealer count directly.
… for The order this contract asks the multisig to execute named only an owner. Nothing in it said which epoch's share it was about, and the contract read the epoch from whatever was current when the order executed. Multisig proposals outlive the round that created them - they get BLOCK_TIME_FOR_VERIFICATION_SECS, a full day, to be voted on, while a ceremony takes about twenty minutes - so one that never reached a decision is still open when a later ceremony reaches its finalization phase. Executing it then verified whatever share that owner happened to have by then, which nobody had validated, and counted it towards the totals that decide both whether the phase is complete and whether the threshold was met. Those totals now gate the empty-ceremony reset, so an inflated count could conclude a ceremony that should have started over. Reaching that state took work: cw3 will not execute anything that has not passed, and the apis do not vote stale proposals through on their own, because `generate_votes` takes the highest id proposal per owner and ids are monotonic, so the current epoch's proposal always outranks the older one. The exposure is real but narrow, and the value of this change is that the contract can now tell, rather than being defended by a heuristic that happens to hold. Old apis are unaffected. Nothing outside this contract builds the order - the one call site in the signing client is an exhaustive match dispatcher, not a DKG path - and nym-api only reads it, through `owner_from_cosmos_msgs`, which matches with `..`. cw_serde does not ask for `deny_unknown_fields`, so a reader that predates the new field ignores it; that is what makes this safe and it is not visible at the call site, so there is now a test feeding raw bytes carrying an unrecognised field through that function. Written as bytes on purpose, so it keeps standing in for an order this version has never seen. What does break is orders minted before the upgrade: their stored message has no epoch, so they can never execute again. For stale orders that is the point. For a ceremony in flight it would fail every verification that round and reset the epoch, so the contract should not be migrated during the twenty minutes a ceremony runs - `InProgress` lasts a fortnight, so there is plenty of room.
… asked for
`master_expiration_date_signatures` took an epoch, keyed its cache on it, looked
storage up by it - and then shadowed it:
let epoch_id = self.aux.comm_channel.current_epoch().await?;
Everything after that used whatever epoch happened to be current: the master key,
the signer set, the threshold, the partial signatures asked of the other apis,
the epoch stamped on the result and the row written to storage. Credentials
outlive the epoch that issued them, so a request for a past epoch is normal - the
route even takes the epoch as a query parameter - and what came back was material
that cannot verify against the key the caller holds. The wrong answer was then
cached under the epoch that *was* asked for, so every later caller got it too,
for the lifetime of the process.
Removing the shadow exposed the same mistake one layer down.
`partial_expiration_date_signatures` would sign a past epoch's request with the
current key and label the result `signing_keys.issued_for_epoch`, then persist
it. It cannot honestly answer: the key for that epoch is archived. So it now
refuses, exactly as the coin index path has always refused, with the
`InvalidSigningKeyEpoch` error that already existed for it. The expiration date
path was the coin index path minus these two epoch checks; it no longer is.
That refusal is where multi-epoch key storage will land. When an api keeps the
previous epochs' keys, this guard becomes the lookup, and the TODO both paths
carry already says so.
Both tests run against a single signer, so aggregation stays local - the api is
the only signer in the group, so it reads its own partials out of storage instead
of querying peers over http, which is what makes this path testable at all.
`install_real_verification_keys` now hands back the keypairs alongside the master
key, since producing those partials needs the secret halves.

Run the DKG tests against the real contract, and fix six defects they found
The DKG tests ran against a hand-rolled mock chain that reimplemented the coconut-dkg contract's behaviour by hand, so they validated nym-api against an approximation rather than against the contract. This moves them onto the real contract under
cw_multi_test(plus the real cw3 multisig and cw4 group), and fixes the defects that surfaced once the tests could see what the contract actually does.Fixes
ceil(2 * 0 / 3), i.e. zero, so the sub-threshold guard passed vacuously and the epoch settled in progress with nothing behind it - permanently, since the same comparison gates every later advance. Public key submission now waits, rolling its deadline, until at least one dealer registers. One dealer is deliberately enough; a one-of-one threshold is valid for a testnet.VerifyVerificationKeySharenow carriesepoch_idand the contract rejects an order from another epoch.Deployment
The contract change is not backwards compatible with proposals minted before it, so ordering matters:
epoch_idand can never execute afterwards. Mid-ceremony that fails every share verification for the round, and the epoch resets and retries. Outside a ceremony it only invalidates stale orders, which is the intent.InProgresslasts two weeks, so the safe window is wide.cw_serdedoes not setdeny_unknown_fields; there is a test pinning this).
